This is not a bunny account, but it kind of is too.

In high school I spent a full Chicago summer TRYING to get a sunburn. Never did. Does the sun not shine in Europe?

[𝗙𝗜𝗔𝗚𝗢 🇩🇪 @fiago7]

Btw this is what happens when a European (me) goes to Chicago thinking it‘s gonna rain I‘ll be fine without sunscreen

To all my fellow Europeans traveling to the US this summer: don‘t make the same mistake 😭🧴

So has anyone ever experienced something getting better once private equity took over?

Seems like 100% of the time they suck all the life out of something good and leave it to die within a few years.

Man I love architecture and been researching these past days…is there any city in the US with cooler looking architecture than Chicago? I haven‘t found one yet 😅🇺🇸

@realDrTT It's just really lovely to have someone be nice online for once, you know?

@BlackBlessedLDS Went to church enough to learn words. Didn't go long enough to learn doctrine.

@portilloshotdog I moved, but I need to see a strawberry shortcake asap.

A doctor refused to test my thyroid when I had sudden major anxiety. Instead, she gave me a Xanax prescription with zero education on it — that I never filled.
The issue was (drumroll) my thyroid.
Sometimes I wonder how many patients she screwed over.

I don't expect any of you to give a shit, but I would like to share something with all of you. This is kind of a cautionary tale for younger person in my audience.

For the love of God: DO NOT FUCK AROUND WITH BENZODIAZEPINE.

Like it was a plague, don't do Xanax, or Klonopin, or Valium, unless it is under strict medical supervision and you're well educated on the drug.

When I was 18 I had severe anxiety. My anxiety was so extreme I was afraid to shower, put gas in my car, etc. Once I was so afraid to shower I didn't bathe for 8 months. My anxiety was debilitating. I was eventually given a narcotic called Klonopin.

The doctor didn't warn me about the drug.

Klonopin is an extremely effective anti-anxiety medication. It was like a breathe of fresh air. I was able to function. It saved my life. However, what the doctor DID NOT tell me is that Klonopin is like rat poison and is INCREDIBLY DANGEROUS. I cannot stress this enough: INCREDIBLY DANGEROUS.

The long term effects of Benzodiazepine is catastrophic. General speaking, physicians only want you taking drugs like Klonopin for 90 days MAXIMUM. I've been taking it for over 15 years.

My brain and body are both heavily dependent on the drug. If I don't have my Klonopin I physically cannot function. My arms shake, I get headaches, I get confused, I get overwhelming anxiety, I get physically sick, it is absolutely awful. It feels very similar to having the Influenza virus mixed with extreme sleep depravation mixed with being hung over.

Additionally, whenever I told other physicians I take Klonopin I am treated like a drug addict and they scoff at me. Several times in the past, when in an Emergency Room or whatever, and I mention I take Klonopin, I've had doctors directly tell me, "Well, I'm not going to give you any Xanax", or "Why are you really here?". It's terrible and embarrassing.

Anyway, to make a long story short I've decided to begin the journey of quiting the drug. I can't quit cold turkey, because it can kill you .. because it can cause death by stroke, heart attack, seizure, ... whatever. Instead I am working with my physician to slowly taper off the drug.

I'm day five into a 25% reduction, which in some cases is fast, but I agreed to try it. I've had mild insomnia and mild irritability. Besides this though I'm doing pretty good. Once I've kept at this 25% reduction for about 8 weeks I will try to reduce by another 25%.

Seriously though, don't fuck around Benzos like Xanax, Klonopin, Valium, etc. This shit will fuck you up bro

@Brynsbeaver Because saying Chicagoland is so much easier than this stupid exchange:

I'm from Barrington IL.
Where is that?
About 50 miles from Chicago.

[Bernice @mightiestbee]

So real

[Jon Brown @JonbrownLVNV]

I can’t imagine raising my teenagers without an entire ward as support. One of the greatest fruits of gospel living is having dozens of other caring adults looking after and watching and supporting and cheering on my kids on a daily basis. It’s a precious gift.

[Bernice @mightiestbee]

He's right! Chicago is so, so good and June is the best time to be there.

[𝗙𝗜𝗔𝗚𝗢 🇩🇪 @fiago7]

Chicago I wasn’t familiar with your game. That Riverwalk is actually elite. Chicago River is clean, you got green everywhere around it and beautiful little café‘s. Top tier city. I will be back 🇺🇸

[Bernice @mightiestbee]

After many, many Portillos visits, the food will always let you down. But the chocolate cake shake is worth it anyway.

[𝗙𝗜𝗔𝗚𝗢 🇩🇪 @fiago7]

Got a lot of DMs about my Portillo‘s experience so we waited about 30 minutes for our food but the location itself is a highlight with so much cool old stuff and they had some interesting beers at the bar that made our waiting time amazing.

Definitely recommend this one to all
my fellow Europeans if you‘re in Chicago 🇺🇸🌭
